This Christmas proved to be a video gaming Christmas. It was the first year that Cody had shown any interest in them after seeing his cousin playing his. So all year he's been asking for a Nintendo DS, and boy was he excited when he saw that Santa did indeed come, and brought him is own DS. And I don't think I've seen much of his face ever since. I have to restrict it already!! This Christmas was a nice one. Shortly after putting up our decor inside the house Daniel came home from work raving about all of the traditions that another guy had told him that his family does every year. One of them being that they have a decoration that they put up every year and tell the kids that it's a camera that goes back to the North Pole to let Santa know if they are being good or bad so we decided to adopt this tradition. We picked a snowman that has black eyes. Cody wanted to see the cameras in the eyes so Daniel lifted him up and only let him get so close. But he took it hook, line and sinker!! In addition to the DS Santa was kind enough to bring our family the Wii. We have had a lot of fun family time with it already. It was also part of our fun on New Years Eve.

Like the one boot out, one boot in look...he LOVES these boots!
Now that Christmas is over we have already started our first project of the new year. We decided to put up crown molding and new baseboard in our bedroom. It's not finished yet but has been nothing but one problem after the other. We found out that we had a slow leak in our shower drain which is on the other side of our bedroom wall. After making a small hole we ended up having to patch a huge one. Then it just kept going on and on with small dumb stuff that kept it complicated. 4 days later it was finally finished and I had a husband that hopes to never see another project for a while...too bad the carpet and baseboard still have to be put in!!
Pictures will follow the completion of the full project.
